Abstract

Background

Therapeutic communication is essential for nurses to foster rapport with patients and promote safe patient care. Nursing students frequently identify that patient communication is challenging. Limited evidence exists related to simulation with standardized patients focused on therapeutic communication outside of psychiatric and mental health settings in nursing education. This pilot study investigated the effect of therapeutic communication simulation with standardized patients on first-year baccalaureate nursing students’ therapeutic communication skill.

Methods

One-hundred thirty-two baccalaureate nursing students participated in this two-group quasi-experimental pilot study. Members of the control group participated in standard learning activities related to therapeutic communication, while members of the experimental group also engaged in a therapeutic communication simulation-based experience with standardized patients.

Results

The experimental group had significantly higher therapeutic communication skill than the control group.

Conclusion

Simulation with standardized patients supports therapeutic communication skill development. More research is needed to understand the impact of simulation with standardized patients on nursing students’ outcomes related to therapeutic communication outside of psychiatric and mental health nursing, including therapeutic communication knowledge and transfer of skill.

标准化病人对护理专业一年级学生沟通技巧的影响

背景治疗沟通对于护士与患者建立融洽关系和促进安全的患者护理至关重要。护理专业学生经常发现，与病人沟通具有挑战性。与护理教育中精神病学和心理健康环境之外的治疗性沟通有关的标准化患者模拟证据有限。本试验研究调查了与标准化病人进行治疗沟通模拟对一年级本科护理学生治疗沟通技能的影响。结果实验组的治疗沟通技能明显高于对照组。需要开展更多研究，以了解与标准化病人进行模拟训练对护生在精神和心理健康护理之外的治疗沟通相关成果的影响，包括治疗沟通知识和技能的转移。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
